The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 703 - Chapter 703 Chapter 702 Lu Mian's Confidence is Wholesale

Chapter 703: Chapter 702 Lu Mian’s Confidence is Wholesale Chapter 703: Chapter 702 Lu Mian’s Confidence is Wholesale The air felt like it had been suddenly sucked away.

Mo Si’s head spun and it took him a while to speak with difficulty, “Mr.

Mo, are you and Miss Lu together?”

Sitting in the front row of the living room sofa, eating melon seeds, Mo Fan’s expressionless face twitched twice.

Was that Mo Si on the phone?

Why was he crying like such a wimp?

No wonder he hadn’t recognized the voice.

Having turned on the speakerphone, Xiao Qimo placed down the receiver with both arms crossed in front of him.

He just stood there in silence, emanating a powerful oppressive feeling even through millions of miles and across the telephone line.

“I heard you’ve made up quite a few texts and sent them to me,” the refined man said indifferently, “and you were planning to collude with Lu Mian to fool me.”

He didn’t even need to read those messages to know what they contained.

“…”

Do you know what it means to have nowhere to hide?

Do you know what it means to be slapped in the face?

That’s where Mo Si found himself.

Day after day, he reported Miss Lu’s schedule as if it were true, yet these two big shots were actually canoodling together.

All those vivid texts he had wracked his brain to concoct, so convincing he almost believed them himself, had now become a joke.

He had even discussed with Miss Lu not to give their game away…

So, the one who had answered the phone before was Mo Fan?

Why did his voice sound so mournful?

It sounded familiar, but he didn’t dare to acknowledge it.

“Mr.

Mo…

if I said I was forced, would you believe me?” Mo Si begged tearfully online.

Whether I believe it or not, does it matter?

Xiao Qimo cut him off mercilessly, “I can’t do much about Lu Mian, but can’t I handle you?”

Someone had to pay for this, and if it wasn’t Lu Mian, it had to be someone else.

Mo Si felt his heart sink even deeper.

It was over, he was done for.

Goodbye, mother, I set sail tonight.

“Mr.

Mo, I…

I was wrong…” Mo Si’s desperate will to live spilled out from the phone receiver, and the three people on this end heard it loud and clear.

Mo Fan silently lit a candle for him.

Having offended Mr.

Mo, not even the greatest deities could save him.

Just as Xiao Qimo pondered where to exile Mo Si, Lu Mian gave Xiao Qimo a speechless look, her tone quite forceful.

“Director Qimo, don’t scare him,” Lu Mian frowned, “you’ve already assigned Mo Si to me, he’s my person now.”

Xiao Qimo: …

“Mianmian, I haven’t done anything yet!”

“So, this is a reminder.”

The domineering girl cut off Xiao Qimo’s flames decisively and turned to soothe Mo Si, “Mo Si, it’s all right now.”

Without Xiao Qimo’s verbal confirmation, Mo Si dared not believe, but with Mr.

Mo silent under such intimidation, he dared even less to speak up on his own.

Lu Mian narrowed her eyes and swept a glance at Xiao Qimo.

Xiao Qimo received her hinted signal and reluctantly said, “Don’t let it happen again.”

“Yay?”

Mo Fan: That’s it, it’s all settled?

“Thank you, Miss Lu, thank you Mr.

Mo!” Mo Si was relieved, feeling a huge weight lift off his heart, and Lu Mian could almost hear the sound of him jumping for joy.

“By the way, Miss Lu, the old man said he would come to Wucheng to see you in a couple of days, what should we do?!”

“The old man?”

Xiao Qimo frowned, “It must be my grandfather.

Why is he running off to Wucheng again?”

Lu Mian knew Xiao Qimo was close to his grandfather and instructed Mo Si, “Then you take good care of Grandfather Xiao, I’ll hurry back as soon as possible.”

Xiao Qimo shook his head, “No need to make a fuss, he’s been there before.”

The man paused, recalling something, and leisurely added, “He has other business in Wucheng, so he’ll probably be able to see you once he’s done.”

Lu Mian responded with an “oh.”

“But Miss Lu…” Mo Si on the other end started again, “The old master sent over a book of calligraphy, saying he carefully made it just for you.

No other fans have it, only you, and you will certainly like it very much…”

“Fans…” Xiao Qimo curled the corners of his mouth.

It was Lu Mian who had accurately picked out the old man’s work from a pile of paintings and calligraphy.

He really knew how to pat himself on the back.

Lu Mian was just smarter, not his fan.

Lu Mian had only one idol, and that was W.

“Don’t pay attention to him.” Xiao Qimo wasn’t about to let his wife fangirl over someone else, not even her own grandfather.

The old coot couldn’t help him marry his wife, yet he only cared about recruiting his own fans, stealing his.

Who could bear such aggrievement?

Lu Mian was a little amused by the misunderstanding, but since the other person was Qimo’s grandfather and an elder of the Xiao Family, of course, she wouldn’t snub him.

“How about I just be one?”

Having said that, she made up her mind, “Mo Si, please keep the calligraphy book from Grandpa Xiao safe for me.

Then…

take a photo of it and send it to my email; I’ll study it when I have the time.”

“Okay!” Mo Si happily hung up the phone.

Xiao Qimo protested, “You clearly aren’t my grandfather’s fan.

You said your idol was only me…”

Lu Mian tilted her head as if thinking of a solution, and after a moment, she spoke very seriously.

“How about…

I make your grandfather my fan?”

Mo Fan, with a poker face among the onlookers, almost laughed out loud.

Turning a master of painting and calligraphy into her fanaEUR”was Miss Lu’s confidence wholesale?

“…”

Xiao Qimo gave a thumbs up admiringly; Lu Mian’s way of thinking was indeed powerful!

“Then practice your calligraphy well.

I am very much looking forward to seeing the old man fangirling over you.”

However, this time it might be a bit difficult…

Lu Mian solemnly promised, “I will try my best.”

—

Xiao Qimo rejuvenated his work spirit and finally agreed to devote some of his energy to solving cases.

The office welcomed the spring, immediately busying themselves following his orders.

Xiao Qimo also redefined the direction of the investigation, having one-third follow the previous approach while the remaining two-thirds concentrated on investigating the holographic projection aspect.

Everyone understood that the latter was the key focus.

Even with the emergence of that suspicious spy information, everyone temporarily set aside their concerns and took decisive action.

Xiao Qimo knew what he was doing.

His decision had nothing to do with Lu Mian, the spy’s information, or anything elseaEUR”it was a hypothesis he had reasoned out long ago.

After two days of hard work, everyone had some findings.

That evening, Wa Zhiqi came to Lu Mian’s room and called them out for a small gathering in the dining room.

“Is Mr.

Qimo here?

Inside?”

Mo Fan pointed with his mouth, “He is.

The old Master Mo is accompanying Miss Lu in her calligraphy practice.”

“Miss Lu practicing calligraphy?” Wa Zhiqi shuddered, “Can a wild girl like her settle down for that?”

Mo Fan indicated he didn’t know.

After Wa Zhiqi knocked and entered, he indeed saw the desk covered with inkstone, brush, and paper, as Lu the Great proficiently held the brush.

He didn’t take it to heart and smiled, “Miss Lu, Mr.

Qimo, let’s all go to the dining room for a meal.

Captain Daine said we’ve all worked hard these past two days, so let’s gather for a bit!”

Somehow, the widely respected Xiao Qimo had been unconsciously placed behind Lu Mian by everyone.

Lu Mian finished her final brushstroke unflappably and went out with Xiao Qimo.

As they passed by Sikong Jian’s room, Wa Zhiqi respectfully invited the big shot out as well.

After some reflection and cooling down, Sikong Jian greeted Lu Mian, and then with a warm gleam in his phoenix eyes, he politely and proactively extended his hand to Xiao Qimo.

“Good evening, Mr.

Qimo.”

Xiao Qimo’s deep gaze landed on the hand of his rival, his presence turning frosty as he narrowed his eyes.

Hmph.
